Twitter Now Has More Than 200 Million Monthly Active Users

Twitter has passed 200 million monthly active users, the company announced in a tweet Tuesday.

"There are now more than 200M monthly active @twitter users," the tweet read. "You are the pulse of the planet. We're grateful for your ongoing support."

The social network hit 100 million monthly active users last September, just more than five years after the service launched. That means Twitter added as many users in 15 months as it did in the previous five years, a testament to how quickly its growth is accelerating.
